[cjwooods123]

haha. i bet he just gets baked and looks at his tank hours. i would........

[nat50866]

i'm considering dirting my tank, however i'm wondering how you keep the water clean-ish when you do a water change or clean it? Can you maybe do a video on how to clean a dirted tank? Thanks :)

[Lae215]

Yeah, I have a lot of floating crap in my tank too. First dirted tank that I tried... I mean plants are growing great, but I just have all this floating shit.

[ryanwillwams]

hey! you need to throw some dirt in your old reef tank and get it rolling!!! it could be your business tank where you do mass growth on plants to sell or where you put all your cuttings! or you could do some tests seeing how different plants react to different dirt, i dunno it up to you!!!!

[aquariumlover1]

I agree. I know plants are your thing, but I'd love a five minute video where you breeze through your tanks and chat about the fish you keep. Tanks are looking great!

[A5BodyBlade]

I'm doing baby tears with high light, CO2 and ferts. Needless to say it grows great. It folds over on itself and sends out roots so it only gets 1.5" to 2" tall without any trimming. Great looking plant.

Hey rally want to know about the dirt I can use. Back yard dirt and Clay mix?? Lookin forward to starting a planted tank but really need to know of I can dig some out of my garden. Its a rich dirt Clay and sand mix. Flowers grow great so want to know if tank would be ok with it??? Please let me know. Have asked many times about this. Thank you.

Have you ever had hatchet fish before. Dustin? I have a few in my 20 gallon, they are well over a year old and one decided to jump out of the back of the tank last night. Just found him about 30 min ago. Kinda sad cause they always look so happy.

[ciukcia989]

when I need to get dirt and chucks off of the bottom.. I just take the end off of my siphon and just use the hose.. it's super powerful, almost sucked up a corycat ahaha I hope you do a like 'no minimum order' plant day! I remember you talking about that a while ago.

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@WindMadeSolid lol i don't tell people this too much....i kileed a corry like that about a year ago i was doing a water change on the 29......lol i felt somethign on the syphon that felt weird didn't pay any attention took the bucket dumped it on the lawn.....where'd the cat go

[WindMadeSolid]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr ahaha oh wow. Well, it was kind-of just his head for like 2 seconds.. I thought it was a rock or something. He's fine now : ]

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@WindMadeSolid which kind of cory was it

[WindMadeSolid]

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

[WindMadeSolid]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr Hellllllllls to the no, I only keep sexy fish.

[mybackpocket]

[02DodgeViper]

@mybackpocket I know mine are and I have some friends with some that are active.

[mybackpocket]

@02DodgeViper hmm Dustins seem to be very easy going and chilled, my white cloud mountain minnows are very active

[twisto]

do you just cut baby tears like you do for your awn?

[Shep883]

LOVE the videos dustin

[paducahFishFan]

Congrads on the lace plants with flower buds. Way cool. I got dwarf baby tear to grow in my low tech tank and it took FOREVER. Once the roots hit the dirt the plant started doing great. It looks weird in low tech versus bumping it with CO2. Check it out on my channel. Promise I bought dwarf baby tear but I've had folks tell me it was baby tear and not dwarf. Those blue rainbows are amazing!!!

[awhitwarrior77]

It's called SYE-AH-MEEZ algae eater

[A5BodyBlade]

@awhitwarrior77 siamensis is the proper name

[razorzrcool]
